Description
A delicious and spicy twist on traditional lasagna, featuring layers of shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and creamy ranch dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix well and set aside.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface.
- In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the chicken mixture. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the remaining chicken mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layering process: 3 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, half of the remaining chicken mixture, and another cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Top with the final 3 noodles, the remaining chicken mixture, and the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
- Substitute ground turkey or beef for the shredded chicken for a different flavor profile.
